English term or phrase: jims
coated chocolate candy pieces or "jims"
Does anyone know what jims are? I believe it could be something like chocolate covered raisins, and have also come across it as a word for a particuar cookie, but can't find anything definite. Thank you!

Explanation:
Könnte sein dass es sich hier einfach um die Form handelt?
"Slim Jims" scheint ein Markenname zu sein.
Als man kann die Schokolade in Form von Bonbons oder Jims kriegen.
Hoffe das hilft.
